(I meant 9-speed XT mech and 10-speed XT cassette... sorry!)

It seems that you need a 9 speed XT cassette with a 10 speed XT cassette.
I've not tried it myself but have it down for a…

I was actually middle of the block - it was at the bottom of a descent where you turn off a muddy track onto a gravel/stone chip path.
The stones on the path were very loose and the mud on the tyres was flicking them up. I think a stone jammed in…

Bet you were on big ring and big sprocket Andy - not being cocky, or judgmental but that's how you rip mechs off. I know - I did two last year.

An MTB mech might make it worse. Even a short-cage version will be longer than a road mech and so closer to all the crud/twigs/leaves. And it only takes a small misadjustment or a sloppy pivot on a longer cage before it goes into the spokes.
Worth…

interesting stuff, having ripped off another new-style Ultegra rear mech today, I think I'm going to give XT Shadow a go instead in a short cage version.
There seems to be a real weakness on Shimano road rear mechs between the main mounting…

No it wont be shimano has a 2:1 cable pull ratio and Sram has a 1:1 so they won't work
ben warburton replied to ben warburton's discussion 'shimano xt 10 speed compatability'
after spending a good hundred pound on an sram apex cassette and rear mech i have found out they are not compatable with shimano shifters.spent all day swapping bike over from traditional campagnolo cross set up to what i thought was bombproof low…

good advice here!!

Sounds promising - let us know how you get on!

Ha ha, you are spot on Lee
I'm now working on a project involving a rim, some spokes and a hub - it could be revolutionary!

Hmm, I think I said that'd work back in July! :-)

Spot-on Dave- thanks
Mega9 rear mech "borrowed" off my tandem indexes perfectly!
In summary, mega 9 xt rear mech, xt 11-34 ten speed cassette and Ultegra ten sti work faultlessly
Dave Haygarth replied to ben warburton's discussion 'shimano xt 10 speed compatability'
Any Shimano 9 speed MTB mech will to the job of clearing the large sprocket and has the same pull ratio as Shimano road 10 spd
Lee Shunburne replied to ben warburton's discussion 'shimano xt 10 speed compatability'
So why not just use a mega-9 MTB mech? Problem solved!
